YADAV Zoological Survey of India, Western Regional Station, Sect. 29, Vidya Nagar, Akurdi, Pune - 411 044 INTRODUCTION The Western Ghats, an important biogeographic zone of India and one of the global hotspots, offer beautiful niches to the piscine fauna of the region. The Ghats having about 1400 km. long almost continuous chain of hills, obstruct southwest monsoon an(i forms major water shade for Peninsular' India. It gives rise to three east flowing major rivers like Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery as well as many short west flowing rivers viz. Vaitarana, Savitri, Vashishthi, Shastri and number of their tributaries. Higher degree of precepitation, moderate climate and huge forest cover in the Western Ghats supports plenty of aquatic life including fish fauna. More than 60 million years old tropical ecosystem of Western Ghats, having senile topography and many naturally portected streams, ponds and rivulets enrich high degree of endemism among ichthyofauna. Yet, out of ) 35 species of fishes known from northern part of Western Ghats, about 38% are under threat and few are on the verge of extinction.

For t he slightly more adventurous, this is a great holiday destination, with m ile after mile of palm - fringed, golden beaches, a patchwork of bird - rich habitats and friendly locals. Three hours drive inland takes us to the cool forested mountains of Karnataka a nd the Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary. From the comfort of our lodge, we will search for exci ting birds and mammals, on foot and by jeep . Indian Pitta Throughout the trip there is an abundance of grea t habitats; huge river estuaries to monsoon forests; mangrove swamps to lowland jungle; and bird - filled lakes to dry scrubland. Consequently, the bird life is rich and varied, giving an excellent introduction to Indian birds as well as offering a number of Western Ghat endemics. Resident birds are j oined by winter visitors from Siberia and the Himalayas. The bird list from our previous visits is truly outstanding with highlights including Cinnamon Bittern, Lesser Adjutant Stork, Slaty - breasted Rail, Great Knot, Small Pratincole, Brown Fish Owl, Brown Hawk Owl, Ceylon Frogmouth, Jerdon’s Nightjar, Malabar Trogon, Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher, Blue - bearded Bee - eater, White - bellied Woodpecker, Indian Banded Bay Cuckoo, Indian Blue Robin, Forest Wagtail, Indian Pitta and Little Spiderhunter.

The paper is based on the ornithological material collected during 1968-1978. Included also are records made from Goa by Grubh and Ali (1976) and Rane (1984). Our knowledge on the bird life of the State is lirrlited to the records made from the adjoining areas of North Kanara by Davidson (1898) and Karnataka by Ali (1942·43). Grubh and Ali (1976) reported 88 species and subspecies and sight record of 65 species from Goa. Rane (1984) made sight records of another 30 species.

  • A Survey of Soil Fertility Status of Cashewnut Gardens of South Goa
    Volume: 2: Issue-3: July-Sept -2011 ISSN 0976-4550 A SURVEY OF SOIL FERTILITY STATUS OF CASHEW NUT GARDENS OF SOUTH GOA, INDIA. Roopa S Belurkar* and Mallikarjun S Yadawe# Parvatibai Science college Goa* S.B.Arts and K.C.P.Science College Bijapur#, Karnataka India [email protected]. ABSTRACT: Characterization of surface soil for fertility was studied by taking ten representative samples of traditional cashew nut gardens in south Goa. Study revealed that soils are acidic (slight to moderate) in nature with non saline low cation exchange capacity. The available nitrogen content varied from 108 (low) to 945kg/ha (high). The data on available phosphorus ( P2O5 ) indicate low 16.13 to high 18.82 kg/ha indicating low nutrient indices. Potassium status was from 44.8 to 291.2 kg/ha. The exchangeable cation is in the ratio of 1:3 with high fertility rating. Key words: Cashew nut, fertility status, nutrients, exchangeable cations. INTRODUCTION Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L ) which was introduced in Goa by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century, mainly to control soil erosion and to use in a forestation programmes has now become an important cash crop of Goa. It is grown in an area of 47094ha which becomes to 30% of the total cultivated area has more land under cashew nut than any other state. Although there has been significant increase in the area under cashew nut since liberation ( 13,513 ha in 1961) as there has been no significant increase in the productivity. The agro climatic situation in South Goa offers good scope to raise successful cashew nut plantation in varied soils ranging from coastal sandy to sandy loam and laterite in the hill slopes up to elevation of about 700 meter.

  • Goa: the Best of South India
    Goa: The best of south India Custom Tour 21-27 November 2010 The amazing Ceylon Frogmouth on a day roost. This is definitely one of the great highlights of a birding trip to Goa. www.tropicalbirding.com Tour Leader: Keith Barnes Introduction: This was a quickfire seven-day junket through south India for a few participants that wanted to add to their time in India after joining our set departure tour to North India. Goa is a South Indian state that hosts a series of laidback coastal beach towns, offering a great introduction to Asian birds and the fascinating culture of the Indian subcontinent. The town of Baga is an excellent base from which to see a ton of birds in a relaxed atmosphere. It is littered with western-style resorts, and restaurants with delicious prawn and fish curries. However, before we spent time at our base in Baga, we headed into the cooler hills of the western Ghats, located near the eastern border of the province. Here we lapped up the many South Indian endemics and the fragile beauty of these sub-montane forests. Because this trip was customized, we were not chasing a big list, and we specifically ignored the many waterbird-rich sites in Goa, as we would be targeting these species on our main tour in North India. Instead, we chased the many forest-based lifebirds that were new for the participants. As a result we saw few ducks, waders and shorbirds, but were focused on the forest specialties at Backwoods and coastal specialties at Baga that would be new, and specifically those that would not be picked up in N.
